GaN Amplifier Powers 3 GHz

Jan 24, 2012

The AMFG family of gallium-nitride (GaN) power amplifiers from MITEQ now includes the model AMFG-3F-00030300-60-33P-HS-12V with an internal DC/DC converter for simple operation from a 12-V supply.It operates from 30 MHz to 3 GHz with more than 40-dB gain and 1.5-dB gain flatness. The typical output power at 1-dB compression is +35 dBm while typical saturated output power is +40 dBm. The rugged power amplifier is supplied with built-in over/reverse voltage, temperature, and current protection and comes with a heatsink and fans to ensure effective cooling of the GaN active devices. The maximum noise figure is about 6 dB over temperatures from −30 to +50C.
